The Steam page for Orcs Must Die! 2 now offers a playable demo for Robot Entertainment's action/strategy sequel in advance of the release of the full game next week. They also now offer sales of the game's soundtrack, and a 75% off weekend sale on top of a price cut for the original Orcs Must Die! Here's word:

With just four days until the release of Orcs Must Die! 2, Robot Entertainment today has announced that they’re celebrating the final countdown with demos, deals, and the long-awaited release of the Orcs Must Die! soundtrack! Players looking to be the first to get their hands on Orcs Must Die! 2 can now download the demo and start sleighing their way through two of the game’s early levels in single-player or co-op. Play as either the Sorceress or the War Mage and test-drive a selection of new traps and upgrades. Hone your combat and trap combos this weekend in anticipation of the monstrous assault coming your way when Orcs Must Die! 2 releases on Monday, July 30th, 2012!

A lot like Orcs Must Die 1, but I never finished it. Doesn't seem too much different than the original. The MP would make it worth the purchase, but really don't have anyone who'd be interested in playing it.

Same here. I tried about half a dozen times to get it throughout the day and keep getting the same message. And it seems to be only available via steam...so seems screwed up unless it's meant to only be for people who already ordered.

Which if that's the case...that's pretty stupid if they want more people to commit to buying it early.

Oh and btw Borderlands 2 preorders are up on Steam and GMG (use COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1 to get 20% off). Amazon is also doing a 4 pack at $40 per copy. The preorders include the crap that most of the retailers have or whatever.

The pre-order on steam for BL2 has everything listed except the "Creature Slaughter Dome" level that's exclusive to Gamestop/EBgames.
